History / Terrible past for the Jews in Poland? [930]

Assimilation means stopping calling the locals "them". Like, we, the Jews, and them, the Poles. The second you say "Poles and us, the Jews" you are a foreign implant who should have his ass shipped out the next day.

Finding this forum was one of the worst things that happened to me. It's habit forming and makes you gain weight.

History / Terrible past for the Jews in Poland? [930]

After multiple generations, you (editorial) are not an immigrant. If you (editorial) feel you are, GTFO.
This, my children, is why there were pogroms.
"Jews and Poles" implies legally equal. Like blacks and whites here.

History / Terrible past for the Jews in Poland? [930]


You just made them as separate and equal rather than one as a subset of the other.

Travel / I'm so bored in Poland! [129]

It was Sunday morning. I am walking down Nowy Swiat and have to go. As a local, I knew that Gromada is close and open. Not every foreigner is that lucky.

History / Terrible past for the Jews in Poland? [930]


Learning a local language is not assimilation. Spies and Latino gangsters do that but nobody claims that they are assimilated.

My definition of assimilation...1. Loving the new country as much as you used to love the one you were born and raised in. 2. Your loyalty is 100% to the new one. Anything else is irrelevant. Even fluency in language as that skill is often impossible to acquire in spite of our best intentions. Like figure skating at 60+.

Travel / I'm so bored in Poland! [129]


Tell me about it! I get off the train at Gdansk-Oliwa and want to take a dump. No restroom. The word panic does not describe it adequately.

FYI, that place is a major tourist destination because of the cathedral and the organ. They even have a restaurant with "American" in its name.


I am not surprised. In my opinion, Poland is for those who are emotional about the place. Poland is not Italy - which may not be a bad thing. Nobody sane in Poland wants Venice there and a million daily "look here" tourists.

Travel / Is Poland a popular tourist destination for Swedes? [20]


...They got invaded and loved it. To hell with a little inconvenience like rapes of Swedish women.
On the repulsive scale, Swedes score the highest.

The will to live should override everything else - customs, habits, religion, how you speak, what you wear, hair, how you stand, and how walk. In this respect Jews during Hitler were dumber than a brick.

You are so right. He hates Puccini and Verdi as much as he hates LGBTFUs preaching in Russian schools and women with dicks competing with women with vaginas.

Life / Wish to settle down, which country to choose - Poland or Russia? [126]


BS again. Simply say that your life would not improve with the move without crapping on Putin.
I moved to the US in 1967 when the Vietnam war was in full swing and I was subject to the draft. Your personal risks while in Russia would be infinitely lower - if any. Just another opportunity here to unload on the man.

A. We don't like that difference.
B. It's the abused puppy syndrome. Poles are afraid. We are not.

UK, Ireland / When are the Polish going to stop extorting money from UK businesses [13]

You just explained why Poles do not register well on the welcome scale and that is why I never admit I was one of them unless I absolutely have to. There is no upside to it.

When I came to the US in the summer of 1967, I would say I am Russian. I got me a free pass to the beach in Glenco that day.

Sylvio, you are correct. My wife and I have been returning things to Best Buy, Amazon, and other stores. Never were we asked to justify the return if within the grace period.

The most they would ask is if it's broken. Probably to know how to dispose of it.

Travel / I'm so bored in Poland! [129]

The strange thing about nostalgia trips like the one I took 5 years ago is that those are best done alone. Then you are free to do all kinds of weird things without asking your traveling partner.

Boring starts when the two of you (editorial) just stand there unable to decide what to do next.

When I visited that church, I was so impressed with the singer that I waited till she came down and invited her for tea. We had a nice conversation till well after closing. Then I walked her home and never saw her again.

My point is that no place is ever boring. You are.

I just walked into a school and asked if I could talk to their English class. I will never forget that experience. At their request, a one-time, one-hour thing became 5 times that.

I also went to see a priest in Radom to ask how he can reconcile the difference between what the Vatican says and what the Polish government does about illegals. It was memorable, too,

BTW, even as an atheist, I appreciate the magnificent beauty of the Polish churches, including the one in Radom where I received my first communion.

History / Terrible past for the Jews in Poland? [930]


The truth is in "Jews and Poles". Those three words tell all - one of them that Jews are foreigners the day they arrive and centuries later. Fluency in the local language is irrelevant.

I have this funny award-winning idea for the shy "I post to avoid attention" guys...Here we go...

PF should have different font sizes and colors.

Posters like joun or vidiot who post not to be noticed can use white letters!!! ..Or, alternately, use zero size fonts. Or both!!!

Am I a genius or what?

History / Terrible past for the Jews in Poland? [930]


The biggest evasive piece of crap. Poland invited Jews AFTER Christ was crucified.

BTW, the top 10 most anti-semitic countries according to ADL:

Algeria
Libya
Kuwait
Bahrain
Jordan
Philippines
Sweden
Netherlands
Vietnam
Denmark

So, from now on, please do not insult me with that Christ story. The Church perpetuated nothing in 7 out of those 10.

So why were Jews disliked wherever they happen to live? And why, according to ADL, is anti-semitism global?

PiS did what the voters wanted. That's how democracies work. If the voters don't agree, they take it to the streets and protest. Or wait till the next elections.

Law / Why is Poland importing so much coal? [76]


Me, sarcastic??? I just expect people as smart as Poles to check if what they have on their backs are actually parachutes before they jump. I would.

One thing is sure...Loving your neighbors is often very expensive. Does anyone keep track of how much Poland has spent so far on its generosity?

Law / Why is Poland importing so much coal? [76]

I am absolutely sure that the Govt secured alternative sources before they decided to stop buying coal from Russia. Only a moron would not. Poles are too smart for that.

Law / Why is Poland importing so much coal? [76]


...but the Poles value "democracy" in Ukraine more than keeping warm in winter. So what is the problem?
As far as I know, Russians didn't refuse to sell their coal to Poles. It's the Poles who refuse to buy Russian coal in support of "democracy" somewhere else. I am so proud...

News / Ruling PiS party tried to cover up eco disaster in Odra River [88]


Poland is a democracy. In a democracy, governments do what the people want so what's the problem...
This disaster means that Poland is not a democracy but the same kind of semi-despotic crap it used to be.
